Mid cycle bleeding

[Kayzr]

Im on cd9 and I've just had a bit of blood when I went to the toilet. Any idea what it could be?

Slightly worried and annoyed as DP has taken me away for romantic weekend.

Is it fresh or old? (Bright red or dark red-brownish?)

When yoy wipe or dripping into loo?

Have you had any vigorous sex yet? Def not pregnant?

It could be a whole host of things, 99% of them nothing to be concerned about. Cervical erosion, vigorous sex, ovulation bleeding etc. Even constipation can cause occasional vaginal bleeding due to pressure exerted on the vaginal wall/cervix.

Keep an eye out today to see what happens just to make sure it doesn't get heavier. I'd see a GP when you get back for peace of mind and to get it noted but the general advice I got when it happened to me was to leave it and see if it happened again. It turned out I was pregnant actually and had a small erosion but at the time the advice was to wait and see.

Have you recently stopped taking any hormonal contraceptives?

I'm assuming v small amount btw but havealittle's question might change my advice...

Just when I wipe. It's not bright red more of a pinky colour. Pretty much stopped now. Had a far bit of sex but it's never happened before after sex.

Oh and yes first cycle of the pill

Aah, you're taking a new hormonal contraceptive and have new irregular bleeding? It's listed as one of the side effects of starting a new pill and it sometimes just takes a while to settle. I was always warned that it was more likely on a low dosage pill.

Which pill is it?

Sorry I meant I'd just stopped taking it. Trying to type and walk at the same time.

As show indicated, when you wipe is not likely to be a huge cause for concern. As you come off the pill your body gets a bit confused at having to manage it's own hormones. So to be clear you're thinking you're cd9 - did you bleed like a normal period when you stopped taking the pill?

Yeah I had a normal period when I came of the pill.

I think it's highly, highly likely that your hormones are up in the air from the pill in that case.

I would see the GP for reassurance but it's common.

I concur.

Thanks. It's completely stopped now.

Glad to hear it.
